Ah, the heady days of Rich Gannon. In 2002, Gannon started every game for the Raiders. No single Raiders QB has accomplished that feat since.

Poor Andrew Walter. He started a few games while Aaron Brooks was injured and ended up being a backup to JaMarcus Russell. But Walter hasn't done badly for himself after leaving the NFL. Next year, he will be challenging Kyrsten Sinema for a United States Representative seat in Arizona's 9th congressional district.

After three mediocre years with the New Orleans Saints, Aaron Brooks really turned things around with the Raiders... just kidding. He lost all eight of his starts in 2006 and threw three TDs to eight interceptions.

In a measure of how much Raiders fans hated Jason Campbell, they actually chanted Bruce Gradkowski's name during games, hoping he'd be named starter. He was, and threw more interceptions than touchdowns in 2010.

Carson Palmer provided as much stability and longevity as the Raiders have known in the last decade. But success didn't come with stability. In the last two years with the Raiders, Palmer went 8-15.
